(Getting the final ingredient, a red dragon toenail clipping, is the main plot.)
  • Later in the episode, while traveling through the Enchanted Forest to the Murky Mountain to get it, the pair comes across a signpost pointing to the "Glade of Woe", the "Chasm of Despair" and the "Pit of Barbecue". (In regards to the last one, the Brain says, "Perhaps later.")

• On Bojack Horseman the MegaCorp Phillip Morris-AT&T-Disney-Fox-AOL-Time-Warner-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader Joe's is repeatedly mentioned. All of the named companies in this conglomerate are often considered to some degree real life versions of Evil Inc, (or in the case of Skynet, a straight example) with the glaring exception of Trader Joe's: a somewhat hippy-ish chain of grocery stores that's known for actually treating its employees and customers pretty well.

  "Um, let's see... I blew up your orbitron regulators so you'll crash into Capitol Planet. And I destroyed your power supply so you can't correct your orbit. Oh yeah... and I shrunk your commander's spacesuit."
  "As citizens of my empire, you will all be fitted with the latest in subservient fashion. Brain control modules will make you all mindless drones in the service of my evil. Your 167 hour work week will consist of grueling labor in lunchbox-sized cubicles that allow zero privacy. Oh! And no dental benefits."

• In the Car’s Life movies, this is invoked several times:
  • A Car's Life: Sparky's Big Adventure has Officer Clutch arresting Diesel, but not because she murdered Piston and chopped up Speedy (which was explicitly mentioned by the main characters), but because she drove without a license.
  • Car’s Life 2 takes this even further. Diesel got arrested not because she poisoned Bumper’s gas, tried to destroy Fender’s Gas N’ Go, or tried to kill Petoola and Sparky, but because she drove with an expired registration. This is even lampshaded by Diesel that it was “ironic, but not dramatic.”

Then another is wanted for robbery, extortion, and doing the Pennsylvania Polka in Rhode Island.

• Kaeloo:
  • In Episode 12, when the gang are discussing what a TV news channel needs, Mr. Cat suggests "blood, pathos, suffering... and a blonde".
  • In Episode 133, Pretty gives Kaeloo the reasons why nobody likes her: she talks to flowers, she doesn't earn money, and she wears woollen scarves.
  • In the episode "Let's Play Treasure Hunt", Kaeloo gets mad at Stumpy for not packing all the important things they needed for a camping trip: the tent, the sleeping bags, the flashlights, and the book of campfire songs.
  • In one episode, Stumpy wants to become a vampire, so Kaeloo explains to him the various downsides of being a vampire, such as that he has to sleep in a coffin, he'll be destroyed if he goes out in the sun, and that he won't be able to post selfies online anymore since vampires can't be seen in photos.

• The Little Lulu Show episode, "Prisoner Exchange", had Tubby's Criminal Doppelgänger, Marty the Midget, who is wanted for burglary, kidnapping, grand theft auto, and worst of all, not looking both ways before crossing the street.
• This exchange in The Little Mermaid (1992): during the episode "Scuttle".
  Pirate 1: Hoist the sails!
  Pirate 2: Batten those hatches!
  Pirate 3: Trim that beard!
• As seen above with Nasty Canasta in Drip-Along Daffy, many Western-themed Looney Tunes shorts had wanted posters with the outlaw's offenses listed as "bank robbery, cattle rustling, and square-dance calling." Adding to that, another poster listed the third crime as square dancing in a roundhouse.
  • Possibly inspired by this, the 'Wanted Poster With Your Face On It' souvenir available at Legoland's 'Western' section features a long list of crimes ending with "..bank robbery, cattle rustling, horse theft, and kicking little old ladies in the knee."
• Also used in the Looney Tunes classic "What's Opera, Doc?", when Elmer uses his Magic Helmet to attack Bugs Bunny with "Typhoons! Hurricanes! Earthquakes! SMOG!!"
  • A non-lethal example: the Porky Pig cartoon "Get Rich Quick Porky" (1937) has Porky taking a bag of money to the bank. His sidekick Gabby Goat entreats him to use it to buy a car, or yacht, or a trip to Europe, or a chocolate sundae.

• In The Loud House episode, "Driving Miss Hazy", Leni failed her driving test for the 14th time due to Lori's sabotaging for failing to check her mirrors, driving on the left side of the road, and commenting on the driving instructor's weight.
• Coop of Megas XLR was fond of this method. Once an Episode, he'd confront the Monster of the Week, and deliver a long monologue with the following format:
  Coop: All right you intergalactic snots! You busted up my car show!
  Jamie: Yeah!
  Coop: You wrecked my friends' rides!
  Jamie: Yeah!
  Coop: AND! You made me run half a block!
  Jamie: Yeah! (Record Scratch) Wait-Half a block?
  Coop: Now, it's payback time!
  • A classic:
    Coop: Listen up you dorky-sounding, ice-grubbing, robotic chump! You dinged my chrome, made me break my window AND snapped my favourite key! (Ator clears his throat) Oh yeah. You also tried to cut up the planet of the space Bigfoots...
  • Often things were included in the list that weren't the villain's fault, usually things Coop himself had caused.
    Coop: This alien chick thinks she can get my ride towed, make me go to the DMV and take a road-test? I DON'T NEED NO STINKING ROAD TEST!
    Jamie: Eh, dude, none of that stuff is her fault.
    Coop: Yeah...Well she's still trying to kidnap Kiva, that ain't cool neither.
  • And once it was all HIS fault.
    Coop: Listen here, you walking water heater. YOU guys attacked me.
    Jamie: Nope, that was you.
    Coop: YOU screwed up my warp drive.
    Kiva: You did that too.
    Coop: AND you made me miss the Monster Truck combat of the century!
    Jamie: Again, all you.
    Coop: Ya mind? I'm on a roll here.
  • Coop lampshades this in an episode where he's yelling this at the Glorft leader who is actually on his side:
    Gorrath: Are you talking to me? I'm on your side now, remember?!
    Coop: Oh. Sorry, force of habit.
    • Interesting note: that latter actually happened during the Crimean War, where the elderly Lord Raglan would repeatedly call the enemies "the French", despite the fact that the French were now on his side and they were fighting the Russians.
  • In Magnanimous's second appearance:
    Kiva: I knew there was something more to this than some stupid fight. This is about revenge!
    Magnanimous: It's about more than that, red. You put me in a quantum singularity, destroyed my empire, made me broke, and gave me this twitch. (eye twitches) It's about hurting you and I wish to go on hurting you, so I am going to humiliate you live. And while I'm at it, I think I might do a little destruction number on this planet of yours!...Oh wow, I guess it is about revenge.

  Tibor the Terrible: He called me a pirate! Plundering, scavenging, downloading MP3s!
  • Of course, in the whole series, masked wrestlers fight for "Honor... family... tradition... AND DONUTS!"
• My Life as a Teenage Robot:
  • In "Unlicensed Flying Object", Tuck scolds his brother Brad for fooling around with the controls of an alien spacecraft, saying "You're gonna blow us up, or vaporize us, or get us grounded!"
  • In "Hostile Makeover", after Jenny is turned into a raging behemoth by a Cluster parasite she contracted fighting Vexus, she hears Tuck's familiar scream of terror and we're shown a flashback of him screaming at being stuck on a stalled Ferris wheel in the episode "Raggedy Android", being in the above-mentioned alien ship with Brad, and Neapolitan ice cream.
  • In "Girl of Steal", when Jenny returns home after stealing a new multi-function MP3 player and accidentally creating a villainous alter ego in the process, she asks her mother if the latest emergency is over aliens, evil puppets, or the kid in her 3rd period who eats glue.
• My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:

• In an episode of the New Woody Woodpecker Show, Woody's car stalls near a conveniently placed bowling alley in the desert, run by none other than Buzz Buzzard, who offers a prize to who can beat him. Of course, being Buzz Buzzard who he is, he rigs the match completely so that he'll end up winning with a 300 score to keep with his reputation as "Champion" of the place. Turns out that, after he flees, Woody finds out his long list of offenses to the law, which plays the trope straight, putting "unlawful toenail clipping" right in the middle. But there's more: upon seeing this, he immediately calls the police on the phone and starts listing his offenses. At first, this trope is inverted, with Woody listing Buzz's crimes starting from the least severe like cussing and littering, and going up to the most severe with fraud and bank robbery. The donut-munching officer on the other end of the line pays no heed to any of these; only when he mentions: "but Officer, he parked in a no-parking zone!" do the cops decide to flock in on him and arrest him (he was trying to escape in Woody's stalled car).

Let's see, I've got my old basketball, the lamp, the Christmas lights, Perry the Platypus, the Disintivaporator, my golf clubs... PERRY THE PLATYPUS!? [Beat] THE DISINTIVAPORATOR!? [Beat] MY GOLF CLUBS!? I don't even play golf!
  • In "Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo", Future!Candace accidentally creates a Bad Future in which Dr. Doofenshmirtz managed to rise to power on a tide of Moral Guardian hysteria. He turns Danville into a dystopia where fun and creativity are outlawed, children are kept in People Jars until adulthood, and Doof makes everyone else change their names to "Joe" so he doesn't have to bother memorizing them.
• In an episode of Pinky and the Brain, the main characters are in Egypt observing an archaeological expedition in the Great Pyramid of Giza for Brain's latest scheme. Suddenly, a creepy Egyptian guy walks in on the archaeologists:
  Egyptian Guy: Beware! Beware, ignorant fools! To open the sacred burial chamber of Khufu is to invite a plague of misery upon humanity: fire shall rain down from the sky, locusts shall devour crops, the Olsen Twins...will make more movies.

  Bank Teller: Was Femme Fatale looking out for me when she stole from my bank?
  Policewoman: Was she looking out for me when she broke my arm?
  Teenager: Was she looking out for me when she stole my hairstyle? (everyone glares at her) Well, she did!
  • Another episode shows Mojo Jojo robbing a bank, a jewelry shop and... a DVD store.
  • In the episode "Impeach Fuzz", when the Girls and Ms. Bellum try to convince The Mayor to take back his rightful position, they tell him that Fuzzy won't let the Girls fight crimes, has turned his office into a literal example of a pigsty, is tarnishing the image of what it is to be the Mayor, and is wearing his hat. That last one is The Mayor's Berserk Button.
  • From the episode "Just Desserts", when Mrs. Smith shows Mr. Smith the features of the Smith Family Mini-van:

• In Red Hot Riding Hood, the wolf offers Red the following if she would just go with him:
  I will give you diamonds, furs, ermine. I will even give you a new set of white sidewall tires.
  • Red Hot Riding Hood came out in 1943, or, in other words, during World War II. Rubber was one of the several substances that were rationed as part of the war effort. It still fits the trope, but it's not quite as incongruous as it seems today.

  Mordecai: Soul juice... goat's feet... Ewww! Almond milk!
• The Ren & Stimpy Show:

While Ahsoka is on the run after being framed for bombing the Jedi Temple, she recalibrates a holobooth's frequency to prevent anyone from tracing her transmission.
